The patent pending PCT 80 plasma torch operates without high frequency and takes this proven technology to a new level, virtually eliminating any delay when the trigger is depressed or the arc is re-ignited after the torch leaves the plate. In fact, this technology allows the arc to be re-ignited within 50 milliseconds. No other torch without high frequency can match this capability. This means no waiting, ever, and better performance on expanded metal.The patent pending VORTECH technology consumables generate the tightest cutting arc in the industry which yields unmatched cutting speeds, low dross levels and unparalleled ease of use.
